TALK TO ME INSTEAD
I HEAR THERE’S SOMEONE ON YOUR MIND
I HEAR IT COULD BE ME
THERE IS CONFUSION YOU WILL FIND
INSIDE A FANTASY
YOUR FANTASY’S GONNA PLEASURE YOUu
SHE REALLY IS HOT STUFF
THE WAY YOU BUILD ME UP
WELL I COULD NEVER BE ENOUGH
AND HERE IS SOMETHING THAT IS TRUE
I WON’T EVER MAKE YOU NERVOUS THE WAY THAT LADY SEEMS TO DO
SHE HAS TAKEN YOUR TONGUE AGAIN
WELL YOU’LL HAVE TO DRIVE HER OUT OF YOUR CRAZY HEAD
AND TALK TO ME INSTEAD
I HEAR THERE’S SOMETHING YOU MIGHT SAY
THAT YOU MIGHT SAY TO ME
I HEARD YOU SAY THAT THING INSIDE
MY OWN SWEET DREAM
I BET THE GIRL INSIDE YOUR HEAD
BET SHE REALLY KNOWS HOW TO GET THINGS DONE
BUT IF YOU TALK TO ME INSTEAD
THEN YOU’LL TURN A REAL GIRL ON
AND HERE IS SOMETHING THAT IS TRUE
I WON’T EVER MAKE YOU NERVOUS THE WAY THAT LADY SEEMS TO DO
SHE HAS TAKEN YOUR TONGUE AGAIN
OH YOU’LL HAVE TO DRIVE HER OUT OF YOUR CRAZY HEAD
AND TALK TO ME INSTEAD

TERRITORIAL DIN
I CANNOT STOP MYSELF
IT’S GOING TO TEAR US APART
I CANNOT STOP MY MOUTH
SPILLING OUT MY BLOODY HEART
I DRAW A LINE AROUND YOU
HOPELESSLY I DRAW THE LINE
MINE MINE MINE MINE
MINE MINE MINE MINE
THAT GIRL WHO WORKS WITH YOU
THE ONE WITH ALL THE RED HAIR
SHE WORKS SO HARD FOR YOU
AND SHE BLUSHES WHEN YOU STARE
WELL I WISH I COULD BE MORE COOL
BUT HOPELESSLY I DRAW THE LINE
YOU’RE MINE YOU’RE MINE YOU’RE MINE YOU’RE MINE
MINE MINE MINE MINE
WHAT AN UGLY TERRITORIAL DIN
I CAN NEVER KNOW IF YOU WILL GO OR STAY
WHEN I BEHAVE THIS WAY ( OH DARLING )
I AM A FOUL MOUTHED FOOL
I AM JUST DRIVING YOU AWAY
AFTER ALL OF THE THINGS I’VE SAID
WHY WOULD YOU STILL WANT TO STAY
WELL I WISH I COULD BE MORE COOL
BUT HOPELESSLY I DRAW THE LINE
MINE MINE MINE MINE
MINE MINE MINE MINE
WHAT AN UGLY TERRITORIAL DIN
I CAN NEVER KNOW IF YOU WILL GO OR STAY
WHEN I BEHAVE THIS WAY ( OH DARLING )

BLACK EYED LUCY
BLACK EYED LUCY
SINGING BALLADS OF FRIENDS AND FOE
HOW YOU WATCH THEM ALL COME AND GO
FROM YOUR SERPENTINE HALLWAYS
THAT ECHO AROUND YOU
BLACK EYED LUCY
SKETCHING MIRRORS AND SMOKE AGAIN
AND YOU’RE CHOKING ON SOMETHING
YOU’RE KEEPING WELL HIDDEN
BLACK EYED LUCY
YOUR ORIXAS ARE CALLING YOUR NAME
AND YOU’RE LOST IN A FIRE
YOU CAN NO LONGER FRAME
DAMN YOUR BLACK EYES
THEY DON’T SEE WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU
BLACK EYED LUCY
SKETCHING PORTRAITS OF FRIENDS AND FOE
FROM YOUR TURPENTINE HALLWAYS

BLACK EYED LUCY
SKETCHING MIRRORS AND SMOKE AGAIN
AND YOU’RE CHOKING ON SOMETHING
YOU’RE KEEPING WELL HIDDEN
BLACK EYED
YOUR ORIXAS ARE CALLING YOUR NAME
AND YOU’RE LOST IN A FIRE
THAT YOU CAN’T FRAME
DAMN YOUR BLACK EYES
THEY DON ‘T SEE WHAT IS GOOD FOR YOU
AHH AHH AHH AHH

AND YOUR LOAD IS SO HEAVY
THEY WON’T EVEN BEND TO TRY
BLACK EYED LUCY
YOUR ORIXAS ARE CALLING YOUR NAME

SINGING PEACHES REGALIA
MY DAY WILL COME
SINGING PEACHES REGALIA
GONNA BRING THE SUNSHINE
ALL THE ZAPPA FUN TIME
TO THE HOLE THAT THE WORLD HAS BECOME
WELL BABY I FELL DOWN IN A LONESOME TOWN
NO-ONE EVEN KNEW MY NAME
WHEN I CAME AROUND, WELL THE SUN BEAT DOWN
SO HEAVY I WAS FALLING AGAIN
AND OVER THE BLUE HORIZON THE SERAPHIM CALL
I RUN BUT I’M NOT ARRIVING AND STUMBLE TO A FALL
MY DAY IS GONNA COME
SINGING PEACHES REGALIA
GONNA BRING THE SUNSHINE
ALL THE ZAPPA FUN TIME
TO THE DIRTY HOLE THAT THE WORLD HAS BECOME
YOU KNOW I’M A SLEEPY DREAMER
I HOPE THAT IT’S A PHASE
YOU ARE A NATURAL SCHEMER
SO TEACH ME ALL YOUR WAYS
YOU WITH YOUR EYES A-BLAZING ARE RUNNING UP THAT HILL
I KNOW WHAT IT IS YOU’RE CHASING BUT I AM FALLING STILL
MY DAY IS GONNA COME
SINGING PEACHES REGALIA
I’M GONNA BRING THE SUNSHINE
ALL THE ZAPPA FUN TIME
TO THE DIRTY HOLE THAT THE WORLD HAS BECOME

SHE
SHE WILL COME WHEN IT’S TIME
MMMMMMMMM
ONLY SHE KNOWS WHEN IT’S TIME
MMMMMMMMMM
I COULD TRY TO BRING HER NEAR
WITH A RED DRESS AND WINE
BUT SHE WILL COME WHEN IT’S TIME
SHE WILL BRING THE MIDNIGHT SUN
ONLY SHE MAKES ME UNDONE
YEH
OH GLORY BE AMEN
SHE IS HERE AGAIN
OH AM I THE LUCKY ONE
SHE IS STRETCHING OUT MY LIMBS
SHE IS SPINNING ME AROUND
SHE IS ALL FORGIVING AND BRAVE
AND I KNOW SHE WILL SAVE
EVERYBODY WHO WILL DANCE

Lipstick Kiss

LIPSTICK KISS
SHE’S THE ONE THEY TURN TO
WHEN THE LIGHTS ARE LOW
SHE’S THE ONE THAT’S LEFT BEHIND
WHEN THE SUN GETS HIGH
SEE HER CROSSING TOWN NOW
AS SHE DOES EACH DAY
THEY TURN TO HER AND SMILE BUT
THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
AND THE DAYS’ CONVERSATIONS
ARE A TRANSITORY KIND
WITH THOSE EMPTY INVITATIONS
SHE WOULD RATHER LEAVE BEHIND
BUT SHE GRACIOUSLY OBLIGES
COS THERE’S ALWAYS ONE MORE CHANCE
THAT A LOVER MIGHT BECOME A FRIEND
SHE COULD NEVER LEARN TO
TAKE THE MIRROR DOWN
SO EVERYBODY THAT SHE MEETS
TURNS TO JOIN HER IN THE FRAME
FROM THE BIGGER PICTURE
YOU COULD READ HER FACE
SHE KNOWS THAT SOMETHING’S WRONG COS
SHE FEELS SO OUT OF PLACE
A SMILE, A DRESS, A LIPSTICK KISS,
( THE SOURCE OF HER DADDY’S PRAISES)
WELL IT’S A LONELY LONELY LONELY PLACE TO BE
WHEN YOUR MIND IS WHERE YOUR FACE IS
BUT SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE WANTS
SHE DOESN’T KNOW HOW
SO SHE’LL TRY ONCE MORE AND AGAIN
AND AGAIN
AND A LOVER MIGHT BECOME A FRIEND

All Hands To Butter Go
04:19
|

|
ALL HANDS TO BUTTER GO
SHE WRAPS A FINGER AROUND A CURL
YOU’RE ALREADY LOST IN HER WORLD
HER TINY VOICE IS A BELL THAT RINGS
WHENEVER SHE CALLS YOUR NAME
SHE ASKS FOR SOMETHING
IT FEELS SO WRONG TO SAY NO
YOU LIKE THE SWEETNESS
IN YOUR LOSS OF CONTROL
SHE’S CRAWLING FAST UNDERNEATH YOUR SKIN
BUT ONLY SO THAT SHE CAN WIN ( AGAIN )
HER PLEASURE’S NOT FOR THE CRAWLING IN
BUT SNEAKING BACK OUT AGAIN
SHE ASKS FOR SOMETHING
NO-ONE CAN EVER SAY NO
SHE ASKS FOR BUTTER
ALL HANDS TO BUTTER GO
SHE ASKS FOR SOMETHING
NOBODY EVER SAYS NO
THEY LIKE THE SWEETNESS
IN THE LOSS OF CONTROL
AND I WISH I HAD HER BLINDNESS TO DISGRACE
AND THE DIRTY LOOK SHE HANGS ACROSS YOUR FACE
AS SHE TIES YOU DOWN AND FIXES YOU A DRINK
SHE’LL TEAR YOUR HEART OUT IF YOU BLINK

Raise a Glass
03:43

RAISE A GLASS
I’M GONNA RAISE A GLASS
THERE’S NOTING FOR IT FOR ME BUT TO POUR IT
DOWN AT LAST
I’M GONNA RAISE A GLASS
I’M GONNA KISS MY ASS
SWEET LITTLE ME I AM SOMEONE I MUST
BELIEVE I AM
I’M GONNA RAISE A GLASS
I SPENT LOTS OF MONEY
I PLAYED MY GUITAR
I TURNED UP THE RADIO LOUD IN MY CAR
STILL I FEEL AS LOW AS A SNAKE IN THE GRASS
I’M GONNA RAISE A GLASS
AND IF YOU WILL LISTEN
I’LL TELL YOU WHAT I WOULD DO
IF I WERE YOU
ONLY SMARTER AND WISER
I’M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS
BUT WHAT WOULD YOU DO THOUGH
IF YOU WERE ME
AND YOU COULD SEE THINGS
THAT I JUST COULDN’T SEE
WOULD YOU TELL ME WHY I
NEVER GOT MY REWARD
THOUGH I DID EVERYTHING I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO
MY HEAD’S ON YOUR SHOULDER
I’M ASKING FOR MOTHER
I’M GONNA RAISE A GLASS
I’M GONNA RAISE A GLASS
FETCH ME THE PRIEST
AND I’LL MAKE MY CONFESSION CLEAR
GONNA BEND HIS EAR
GONNA INSTIL FEAR
I’M GONNA RAISE A GLASS
I’VE WAITED
HOW I’VE WAITED LONG
TO HEAR THAT SWEET REFRAIN…
“TO YOU ! LET’S DRINK TO YOU ! ”
NOW THAT WAIT IS THROUGH
AND I’M GONNA DRINK TO ME
THOUGH THE ME I AM
IS NOT THE ME THAT I PLANNED TO BE
I’M GONNA LET ME BE
I’M GONNA CRY AND LAUGH
COS THAT COMBINATION RULES IT DOES
FOR ALL THE DRUNKEN FOOLS OH YEH
I’M GONNA KISS MY ASS BECAUSE
NOBODY ELSE WILL DO IT .
